River Place Country Club participated in Austin’s Bridal Extravaganza, which took place January 11-12, 2014. The Club has participated in years past and usually exhibits at 2-3 similar shows per year.
“The Bridal Extravaganza always has such a great energy!” said Rachael Roumaya, Catering Director at River Place Country Club. “There is nowhere else in Austin you can go meet this many excited brides-to-be! Their excitement is contagious and everyone always has a great time. It is also wonderful for vendors, as this gives us an opportunity to check in with other local pros to see what’s trending and how everyone is marketing their businesses. And, as many of us have become friends, it gives us an opportunity to connect with industry peers!”
The event offered brides multiple vendors to explore and
research in one centralized location. The show even features celebrity wedding planners and for 2014, David Tutera, of WE TV’s hit show, “David Tutera: Unveiled” spoke, discussing trends and ideas for any bride for their special day.
River Place Country Club had Wedding information available, including pricing information, as well as a slideshow of several photos of wedding events previously held at River Place.
River Place Country Club offers catering, bar services, three ceremony sites to choose from, an onsite coordinator, a complimentary round of golf for the Groom and 3 friends, only one wedding is booked at a time, so no “sharing” of space with another bride. Decorating services, including non-floral centerpieces, such as candles and vases are also available, as well as clean up services.

After 2 years of controversy related to the River Place Nature Trail extension that was opened in 2009, and closed in early 2012, the River Place MUD has informed the US Fish and Wildlife Service and US Army Corps of Engineers that it will be reopening most of the extension on Friday, February 7 to hiking. The small section (about 1600 linear ft.) of the trail that was accidentally built on nature preserve under the jurisdiction of the Austin Water Utility remains closed and is being restored to its “natural state” or torn down. Because of this, the upper trail can only be accessed by entering at the uppermost point (on River Place Blvd. between Treasure Island and Golf Vista). That hike will go just past the 1.5 mile marker, and then return to the starting point for a total of about 3 miles. There is a great deal of elevation change both directions on this hike, so most people consider it to be strenuous.
The MUD, and the Friends of River Place Trail urge all hikers to stay off the closed section of trail. The MUD is in the process of gaining permission to rebuild a connection to the lower trail
River Place MUD to Reopen Upper Nature Trail Feb. 7By Sandy Perry, President, Friends of River Place Trail
on their own land - but the earliest this will happen is in the fall - after the 2014 Golden Cheeked Warbler nesting season. The MUD has also submitted an amendment to the SPA (Strategic Partnership Agreement) with the City of Austin to assure that the entire hiking trail will stay under the authority of the River Place Parks District that will succeed the MUD after annexation on December 31, 2017. That new elected entity will take care of our local parks and be responsible for trash and recycling collection. We encourage River Place residents to send an email to Mayor Leffingwell asking him to expedite this amendment to the SPA so that we can be assured that the our money is being put to good use, and that the trail remains under local control. This also means that this trail will cost the City of Austin nothing - so they have everything to gain and nothing to lose. His email address is: http://austintexas.gov/email/leeleffingwell
The MUD Board has worked hard to get to this point, and should be thanked for providing one of the best hiking trails in Central Texas!

RIVER REVIEW
Everyone is busy. The breakneck pace of modern life leaves little time for reflection. In addition to taking care of yourself, parents are focusing on the ever-changing needs of children while often simultaneously caring for aging parents. It is hard to think about the big picture when we need to cook dinner and walk the dog (even though someone shorter than you insisted that they would take care of the latter).
What if something happened to you? If a debilitating illness prevents you from taking care of your family? Organizing your affairs both in the event of incapacity and death is a gift to your loved ones. It will mean that they do not have to guess about your wishes. It also means that you, instead of Texas law, determine the guardians of your children, who will take care of you if necessary and to whom your property passes.
Whether you need to update your current estate plan or create one for the first time, every parent needs to consider the following:
1. Guardians for children. What happens to your children if you die? If you become incapacitated and cannot care for them? Choosing a guardian for a minor or incapacitated child is one of the most important decisions you can make. And wouldn’t you rather name a guardian as opposed to leaving it to a court? Revisit your decision every couple years to see if you are still comfortable with the person you named guardian or to change the appointment.
2. Beneficiary designations. Review the beneficiary designations on your retirement accounts and life insurance policies to make sure the beneficiaries are correct and coordinate with your estate plan. A divorce or death may have changed things since you last filled out your designation form. Further, check your bank and brokerage accounts. If there is a
ESTATE PLANNING
BASICS FOR EVERY FAMILYSubmitted by Laura K. Kennedy
survivorship designation, that account will not pass under your will. This kind of asset is referred to as a non-probate asset. For example, a “joint with right of survivorship” bank account will be controlled by the designation on file with your bank.
3. Trusts. Should you leave your estate outright to your spouse or children or in a trust? Trusts are not just for the wealthy. A properly prepared trust can provide a certain level of creditor protection and asset protection in divorce. Further, a special needs trust should be considered if your child could be disqualified from government benefits because of his or her inheritance.
4. Powers of Attorney. You understand the benefits of an estate plan but think, “Aren’t I too young for a will?” A complete estate plan includes more than just a will. What if you are in a debilitating accident? Who takes care of your finances and your medical decisions? You can tackle these issues in a durable power of attorney and medical power of attorney. Moreover, a health care directive gives you the opportunity to outline your wishes in case of terminal illness.
5. Taxes. I have yet to meet a person who enjoys writing a check to the taxman. If you have a taxable estate above $5.34 million (including life insurance, retirement accounts and certain other assets that pass outside of your will), your estate will be subject to the federal estate tax in 2014. A tax-planned will and other specialized techniques can minimize the estate tax and preserve your wealth.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to estate planning. It will take some time and thoughtful discussion. However, there is no substitute for the peace of mind that will come with an estate plan that reflects your wishes and takes care of loved ones when you cannot.

River Place Country Club was the site in November of the third annual Birdies for Bikes Junior Charity Golf Tournament, a tournament for young golfers ranging in age from six through seventeen years. The tournament drew junior golfers from San Antonio in the south to Round Rock in the north and Pflugerville in the east to Bee Cave and Marble Falls in the west. The Birdies for Bikes tournament works in conjunction with the Mix 94.7 Bikes for Kids charity. In its short three year history, Birdies for Bikes has raised more than $22,000 to help fund bicycles, helmets and bike locks as Christmas or Hanukkah gifts for underprivileged children of Central Texas. The young Birdies for Bikes golfers solicit donations and pledges from family, friends and neighbors for the birdies and pars that they make during tournament play. This year the tournament raised $10,759.
Tournament founder Hailey Derrickson solicited donations from local businesses. Supporters of the tournament with cash donations as hole sponsors included Financial Solutions (Life Insurance, Retirement and Estate Planning), Field Photography, Jill Briley of Private Label Realty, NFP (Benefits, Insurance and Wealth Management), Paula Kaisner of CruiseOne Dream Vacations and several individual families. Many businesses donated prizes for the junior golfers that collected the most money for the charity, for closest-to-the-pin competitions and for raffle drawings. These donors included Strait Music with a guitar which was later autographed by The Plain White T’s band, Alamo Drafthouse, Austin Park, Biejo Bags, Big Frog Custom T-Shirts, Brighton Collectibles (Lakeline Mall), Chili’s Restaurant, Cinemark Theatres, Crowned Chick Designs, Cups and Cones, Flores Restaurant, Lake Travis Zipline Adventures, Main Event, Menchie’s, Moviehouse & Eatery, Oasis Restaurant, Papa Murphy’s, P. Terry’s, Round Rock Express, San Antonio Spurs, Subway Restaurants of Four Points and Lakeway, Target of Four Points, Texas Junior Golf Tour, Texas Stars hockey, The League Kitchen & Tavern, Top Golf, Volente Beach Waterpark and Zack’s American Bistro. Many thanks to these very community oriented businesses that helped the young Birdies for Bikes golfers prove that kids can help other kids less fortunate than themselves.
